SEO: WTF? Basics of Search Engine Optimization

What exactly is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?  SEO is the way web content creators attract the attention of search engines―the algorithms that ranks the content entries users see when they search.

Using SEO increases your site's visibility to viewers increasing the opportunity to turn them into customers. Of the millions of people who search for products and services daily, 90 percent will not go any further than the first page of results in their search.

This is where Wikads comes in. We can boost your site's profile and reputation, both online and outside the web.

We work with you to boost your online search profile using a blend of effective tools like site audits, content editing, keyword research, and a range of other services that yield consistent customer conversion and long-term growth.

We win when our clients win. We deploy digital marketing tools and tactics that attract high search rankings, and our chests puff out a little when our clients hit page 1 on a Google search.

The Details: Why SEO Matters

Traditional advertising and marketing platforms and media were fine and worked well in the pre-internet age. Nevertheless, these approaches demanded labor-intensive and saturation-style campaigns in all media—for such campaigns, one medium, platform, or single ad are not enough. But these traditional tactics were very expensive.

The world has changed drastically, and traditional marketing is less and less effective.

Someone wanting to buy something now is most likely to just open a phone, tablet, or laptop browser and type a search query into Google.

If the search engine results page (SERP) doesn't feature your site near the top, you're invisible. 

So—unless your business doesn't have to worry about competition or effectively reaching today's digital consumer, understanding and effectively optimizing your search engine presence is a no-brainer.

What Creates Good SEO

We call SEO an art form for a reason—it requires a combination of intelligence, discipline, and creativity, combined with experience, knowledge, and skill.  And it requires flexibility and adaptability to prosper in a continually evolving business landscape.  

For example:  search engines and web browsers are in a constant state of change, as the closely held algorithms that determine page rankings are continually tweaked, reinvented, and modified. 

Sometimes the shifts are non-obvious and incremental, and sometimes they’re sweeping and dramatic. Either way they can improve your rankings overnight, or make your site disappear from that vital first page. 

Being aware of these changes and understanding what they mean and how to adapt are what it takes to be a successful competitor on the web—with seamless, continuous SEO.
